Association of the Tyrosine/Nitrotyrosine pathway with death or ICU admission within 30 days for patients with community acquired pneumonia
2018
Background
Oxidative stress is a modifiable risk-factor in infection causing damage to human cells. As an adaptive response, cells catabolize Tyrosine to 3-Nitrotyrosine (Tyr-NO2) by nitrosylation. We investigated whether a more efficient reduction in oxidative stress, mirrored by a lowering of Tyrosine, and an increase in Tyr-NO2 and the Tyrosine/Tyr-NO2 ratio was associated with better clinical outcomes in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).
